Fear Factory - Powershifter

[AlphaOrange75]

FUCK YES!

[MrFitz219]

Nice stuff Im only discovering these guys now, metal hammer released one their songs on their cd and it sucked so I never looked them up properly until now

[JesseStorck28]

I hope they put Powershifter, Mechanize, Replica, or some other cool Fear Factory song in Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock (6), or Rock Band 3.

[nomedmon]

music for driving fast in a big truck lol

[JesseStorck28]

@nomedmon yeah, lol

[Revscapegoat]

Mechanize is the best FF album since Demanufacture, by a mile!

I liked some tracks on Digimortal, and most of Archetype... Transgression didn't really do much for me tho.

And they're back to being stunning live :)

[NeoHuman666]

Its about time Fear Factory brought Dino back as without them they were going downhill for me. Transgression was horrible and I blame Christians lack of guitar skills for that. This song brings me back to the glory days of cranking out Demanufacture . If anyone is all for Christian then maybe you should look up Divine Heresy or Assesino and see why Dino is way better.

[RanReiUY]

Awesome song! I will buy the new album!

[Mobi666]

The new album is great. I can't wait to do 2 things next month : 1) buy a hardcopy of the new album and 2) go to see them live in Brussels!!!

[DjJokerr]

This new cd better be good, because the last one sucked azz!

[f1sk8mm]

I was looking forward to a new album from my favorite band for a long time. This sounds like the same hard riffing poor songwriting shit that 50 other bands are doing right now. In no way does this sound like the unique FF that I loved to listen to, and no way in hell do I predict this album to be anywhere near transgression or archetype by a mile.

Way to fuck up the band, good luck with the legal battles. I hope letting tons of fun and his brother back into the band was worth it.

[Blade376]

All I will say is wait for the album my friend.

This song is basic simple FF. As Burton has expressed. The rest of the album goes to their routes from across the past 20 years, and is a masterpiece.

And if you want to know how FF could of gone: ARKAEA - It's scary to think that could have been FF... does that compare to 50+ other bands like you speak?

Don't throw all your toys out the pram until you've listened to their full album. That's not to say you'll like it..but be open minded please.

[Ridethelightnin69]

Gene Hoglan pne of the best metal drummers

[olivestudios]

Glad to hear the brutality is back but maintaining that all important Burton Melody. I've been a fan since Demanufacture and this is quite possibly the best sound since then. Good to see Dino brought it back to what it was designed for instead of the pop he tried to put in with Linchpin and the likes! Also really glad Gene & Byron are there, fantastic musicians, if I had to choose anyone, that would be my perfect line-up!

[jokera7x20]

Sounds awesome

cant wait!!

[drushtvo]

You know what? The whole song sounds like an intro.

Burt did say that he was going to go heavy on the lyrics since its what people relate to but this has turned into noise with voice over it.

I weep for the original FF

[drushtvo]

This isn't Fear Factory. FF have never made a bad song ever but this sucks crap. Oh wait, Raymond and Christian ARE Fear Factory, it all makes sense now.

[Blade376]

And have you heard ARKAEA? That is what FF could of been... that is what the new album would of been - and you seriously think that is better than this?

FYI, Powershifter is one of the weakest tracks on the album. But I still love it =]

[WitDabal]

I like it. Hope to see you guys in Poland some day.

[cranchman]

This is work of GENIUS!!! Hooray they are back to good form at last, regardless if Ray and Christian are in the band or not.

[fallat1sthurdle]

the drums are computer processed?

[FenderUsa]

wtf..no

[Runeroev]

nope.. look gene hoglan up. played with death (symbolic and individual thought patterns, nice nice music) strapping young lad, mechanism, dethklok, dark angel, zimmers hole and so on. AWESOME DRUMMER. Trust me, those are not computer processed.

[F3rgul]

Fear Factory Forever! excellent song, great come back, can't wait for Mechanized, however I have one minor problem with the track, I think Mr. Hoglan's drumming is too dominate over the rhythm.

[fallat1sthurdle]

anything is better than the divine heresy drummer. he does the same thing in every song

[Runeroev]

actually i think he is pretty good to. he doesent use lots of experimentation and stuff like that you are right on that one. but he has a nice sound. and he fits well into the music

[Runeroev]

But yeah.. gene hoglan rocks WAY more ass. especially with death.

[Blade376]

To the guys credit, he's like what 22?

[xicool69]

Fear Factory Back!!! Fucking power song!!

Waiting in Portugal!!

[bluprint79]

Hell Yeah! Fucking Awesome! Mechanize will crack this planet in half! \m/
